Arsenal vs Ipswich Town History

Ipswich Town Football Club was founded in 1878, eight years before the formation of Arsenal (originally known as Woolwich Arsenal). Arsenal being the more successful between these teams, Ipswich Town are in fact the older of the two clubs. ITFC

Despite being the younger of the two clubs, it was Arsenal that enjoyed more success in the first half of the 20th century. The Gunners celebrated five First Division titles and two FA Cup triumphs in the decade leading up to the outbreak of World War II. Following the War, Arsenal added another FA Cup and a league championship to their collection, though trophies then became elusive for the London side for much of the 1950s & 60s.

It was around this time Ipswich Town climbed the English football pyramid, rising to the top flight for the first time at the start of the 1960s. Under the tutelage of manager Alf Ramsey, ITFC subsequently won the First Division title in the 1961/62 season, a historic achievement in English football.

In 1978 Ipswich lifted the FA Cup for the first time, defeating none other than Arsenal in the final at Wembley Stadium. Three years later Ipswich captured European silverware thanks to a narrow victory over Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar in the final of the UEFA Cup (precursor to the Europa League).

In more recent years Arsenal have, of course, been the more competitive between these two clubs. The Gunners were a force to be reckoned with during the Arsene Wenger years, with the French tactician guiding AFC to Premier League glory three times and the FA Cup seven times throughout his 22-year reign in charge.

Meanwhile, after relegation from the Premier League in 2002, Ipswich languished in the Football League for more than 20 years. At long last the Blues ended a 22-year wait for Premier League status as they earned back-to-back promotions to the EFL Championship in 2023 and then to the top flight the following year.

The first matchup between these clubs took place during the 1961/62 season of the First Division. Ipswich were newcomers to the top flight, with this their first-ever campaign playing in the First Division, yet that evidently had no effect on Alf Ramsey and his players. Ipswich Town recorded a stunning 3-0 victory at Highbury in the penultimate game of the season, after the sides had earlier played out a 2-2 draw at Portman Road. The Blues went on to win the First Division title by 3 points, claiming top-flight honours at the first time of asking.

The first time Arsenal and Ipswich contested an FA Cup tie was in 1978. The teams met in the FA Cup final with 100,000 spectators in attendance at Wembley. Roger Osborne scored the only goal of the game as Ipswich Town celebrated FA Cup success for the first time.

Arsenal and Ipswich were both founding members of the Premier League in 1992. This fixture ended all square with the teams playing out a goalless draw at Highbury on Boxing Day.

Meetings between Arsenal and ITFC have been relatively seldom in the 21st century, with the Blues remaining outside of the top flight from 2002 until the end of the 2023/24 campaign.
